Abstract
The design of an ultra wideband (UWB) reflectometer for use in a microwave breast cancer detection system is presented. The design is based on a six-port technique. The reflectometer is constructed using an assembly of compact UWB microstrip-slot couplers. Its analysis and performance assessment are accomplished using commercially available circuit and EM field simulation tools.
